Skeptics on the Fringe 2015: Saturday 8th August - Saturday 29th August

Announcing Fringe 2015

On our opening night we kick off by sharing our stage with some of the other acts that appeal to the Open-Minded, the Curious, to Scientists, Geeks and Skeptics.

Helen Arney, Steve Mould, Matt Parker, and Rosie Wilby

Edinburgh Skeptics brings its free, award-winning, four-star, alternative to comedy back to the Fringe, with a different talk every night on science, reason and critical thinking. This year's topics include ghosts, badgers, Feederism, and much more. Come early to avoid disappointment, we have to turn people away most nights.

‘Promises to be a fascinating series’ **** (ThreeWeeks).

'An absolute must' **** (Broadway Baby)

Our website for the entire run is:

*** RSVPing does NOT GUARANTEE you a seat for these events ***

This is because they are part of PBH's Free Fringe and are Free and un-ticketed. Come early, seating is limited and we have to turn people away most nights.

We're not going to bombard you with e-mails. Details are here on Meetup and on our main website. If there are any changes to our published speakers, we will try to send an email to anyone whose said they're be attending, but please check online for changes.

All events start at 7.50 pm prompt and last for 1 hour (with discussions in the bar afterwards). We will try to include a couple of questions in the hour long talk but this may not be possible.

Please note that these restrictions, the timeslot, and the venue are out-with our realistic control, and we apologise for any inconvenience.

The queue for our talks runs from the front door of the Banshee up Niddry Street towards the High Street. Come early to avoid disappointment, we have to turn people away most nights. Committee members will have a "COMMITTEE" lanyard and other people involved in putting the talk on will have a "VOLUNTEER" lanyard.

We ask for donations at the end of each talk to cover our speakers' expenses and our publicity and other costs throughout the Fringe and the rest of the year. Edinburgh Skeptics is funded entirely by the generosity of the people who come to the talks and is only made possible by the speakers and volunteers who freely give up their time.

Our "Respect People, Challenge Ideas" manifesto will apply to all events and can be read here:
